A Look Inside Aerospike’s Journey and the Rise of the New Stack in Enterprise Data Platforms

Aerospike has seen significant adoption across various industries since its inception in 2009. Initially designed to address problems on the edge, it quickly gained popularity for powering massively scalable applications at top companies like AppNexus, Adform, PayPal and Wayfair. Around 2014 or 2015, Aerospike began serving as a system of record, with enterprises leveraging Kafka, Spark and other technologies to make it the single source of truth for their customers. Today, Aerospike is expanding further into the enterprise as a global real-time transaction database, powering shared-ledgers that enable banks to move money 24/7 without manual intervention. The company's growth aligns with a once-in-a-generation technology shift in core infrastructure stacks, driven by cloud, hardware and storage memory breakthroughs, open standards of connectivity, and other advancements.
